A professional opera vocalist, avid pipe smoker, and seasoned woodworker, Scott Tinker approaches all aspects of his life with a prioritization of quality and aesthetics. He's renowned for his handcrafted pipe-smoking accessories — from pipe stands and tobacco plates to tampers and tools — and he specializes in exotic materials and hardwoods, often utilizing hand tools for greater control and intentionality. His Zeppelin pipe tamper design is characterized by a rounded, conical cap at the top which unscrews to reveal a dottle pick, and this particular example features a body of snakewood with a cap of solid nickel.
